The whole process can take a week. At home, the chef keeps things a little simpler and mostly vegetarian--but doesn't skimp on the smartly layered flavors and bold Korean spices. Serpico shared two of his dead simple back-pocket recipes you'll want to add to your home repertoire, too.

Miso-Buttered Corn or Eggplant: Mix white miso into room-temp unsalted butter. Smear over grilled corn. Add chopped scallions. Boom--mind blown. It works well over whole roasted eggplant, too see the recipe. Szechuan-Marinated Cucumbers: Dump a scary amount of Szechuan chiles, water, garlic, ginger, salt and palm sugar into a blender. Marinate the cucumbers in the mixture for an hour. Serve the cukes as pickles alongside anything and everything see the recipe.

Save the marinade and toss it with chilled somen or ramen noodles and quick-blanched vegetables Serpico suggests snap peas for tomorrow's lunch or dinner. Comebacks for neighborhood hangouts could signal brighter days ahead.

Thanks for signing up! Serpico opened to rave reviews. Serpico was booked out constantly. When Jay-Z was in town one summer, he ate at Serpico. Serpico was a resounding success right out the gate. Remember, Serpico opened as a Very Serious Restaurant, even if, over time, its menu items fell into a more playful and familiar territory.

It was tweezer food and fine dining service in a neighborhood and on a street known, at least from a culinary perspective, for cheesesteaks. Fried chicken and donuts if you include the Federal Donuts that opened two doors away. That it needed.
